Kids love to bake - weighing ingredients, stirring mixtures and rolling out dough are all absorbing tasks for any child. They’ll also be learning new skills and developing a positive attitude to food that should stand them in good stead for later life.
Baking with Kids is an ideal book for any parent keen to teach their children all about food and interest them in cooking from an early age. Linda Collister provides clear, step-by-step recipes that children can follow clearly and highlights the point at which an adult’s help is needed.
Chapters include Teatime Favourites that budding chefs will love to bake, try Cherry Berry Buns or a nutritious Banana Loaf. With your help and Linda’s expert advice they can move on to the Big Bakes section, including yummy Fresh Raspberry Streusel or a Peanut Butter Cake
Your children can make freshly baked No-Knead Cheese Bread, or Sun-Dried Tomato Rolls from the Breads chapter. The Savoury Snacks section includes Giant Cheese Straws and Canadian French Toast with Bacon - more tempting than snacking on crisps. Enjoy a recipe from Puddings, a chapter full of treats for the whole family - let the kids help out by making Apple Hedgehogs or everyone’s favourite, Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Featuring wonderful photography by leading photographer Polly Wreford, Baking With Kids will show your children how to cook good food, how to appreciate it and, above all, that baking is fun.
Baking with Kids, by Linda Collister with photography by Polly Wreford, is published by Ryland Peters & Small, priced at £14.99
